La Sportiva VK

Specific footwear for Vertical Kilometer competitions, developed in collaboration with the Record-Man of the discipline Urban Zemmer. Weft and volume have been reduced to a minimum for maximum ascent performance. Specific footwear for vertical kilometers, developed in collaboration with the world champion of the discipline Urban Zemmer. Weight and volume have been reduced to a minimum to give the athlete maximum performance. The shaft is super tight due to the exclusive Sock-Like™ technology: this technology makes the shaft a single knit piece of fabric with differentiated elasticity and thermo-bonded stabilizing and abrasion-resistant inserts, seams have been removed and the shaft lies like a sock on the foot. Asymmetric Ghost-Stream Lace lacing system integrated directly into the shaft System™: wraps and structures the shaft all around and laces itself laterally with shoelaces which can then be stowed away. The super light shoe profile with rubber only at the front, rock-guard at the ball of the foot and compressed super abrasion-resistant EVA at the back have been developed for maximum lightness and upward drive during the Vertical Races. The non-slip microfibre rear spoiler offers quick and easy donning. VK, no compromises, pure vertical.
